The self-checkout doing away with jobs is not valid, as the companies required to create and maintain self-checkout systems created tons of jobs. One company in my college's town was started by an entrepreneur doing POS self-checkout systems (Point Of Sale) and the company is now massive and worth millions.
As to whether you are losing some value by having to "do the job yourself," I guess it depends on whether you are paying for that service or not. I don't see it as you paying for the service of being checked out. I would much rather do it myself.
